Not kid friendly at allFamilies are NOT welcome here.We are here every Sunday afternoon (1pm) Our kids play soccer at the fields they share a fence with. The place was DEAD, literally only soccer families were supporting The Local that early afternoon. They have corn hole, large Jenga, and a kids menu, no where does it say adults only or 21+.Our kids were always supervised and mindful of others, there were no other adults around us. One of the bartenders told me I need to keep my kids on the soccer field and not here. For a restaurant located in the suburbs, talking about Sunday afternoons - not Uptown or a place crawling with young adults, I found this to be ridiculous. I understand not wanting families at a bar on Friday or Saturday nights, but to be openly hostile to families on a Sunday afternoon is absurd. We spent $100s there as a group.If you have kids, don’t bother supporting this business as they have made it very clearly that they don’t want you there.

It would be a lot cooler if the bartenders knew how to take more than one person's order at a time.

Disappointing Experience at Local ShacksI recently visited Local Shacks with a group of parents and kids, hoping for a pleasant dining experience. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory, and I feel compelled to share my disappointment.Upon arrival, we noticed signs indicating that anyone under 16 needed to be accompanied by an adult, which we fully complied with. However, despite not being the only group with children, we were singled out and rudely informed that we needed to leave the premises because of our kids. This discriminatory treatment was not only embarrassing but also completely unwarranted, considering we were following the restaurant's own guidelines.Furthermore, the service was lackluster, with long wait times for both seating and food orders. The staff seemed disorganized and unprofessional, adding to the overall negative experience.Overall, my visit to Local left a bitter taste in my mouth, both figuratively and literally. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience, especially for families with children.

Have been here before and really enjoyed ourselves but yesterday was there with my family including my two young kids. I was told they didn’t like the look of my diaper bag and was told to put it in my car. I thought this was a kid friendly place but now I’m not so sure. Really left a bad experience.

held a republican rally and one of the republican lady came up to me and shamed me for not wanting to talk politics, she asked who I was gonna vote for and o told her I would rather keep my own beliefs to myself than she started yelling and telling people I was a soft liberal and that I was ruining this country, I felt so

Drinks taste like dirty water. Over 6 drinks ordered and every single one tasted worse. Don’t waste your time or your money.

For being a Saturday when it’s not busy the girl bartenders didn’t even acknowledge us. We stood at the bar for over 5 min and needed up leaving.

Got charged for extra drinks I did not order. Bartender and manager insisted the drinks on the receipt were correct, but I checked many times and was charged 4 extra drinks versus what was actually ordered. I’m sure the manager was insistent that the order was correct, but I’m 100% certain the tab and order was incorrect. Cool bar, okay service, but disappointed in the outcome of the bill and lack of understanding and accountability.
We found ourselves at the Local often on the weekends due to location and other activities. They have cornhole, large jenga and a lot of space. Our kids were always supervised and mindful of others, and we enjoyed the atmosphere.We received an email this weekend regarding the presence of families at the Local saying "we specifically request that you refrain from doing so [hanging out] at The Local. They are strictly a bar and not family-friendly, and have expressed a preference not to accommodate our families with children."I have been to plenty of outdoor spaces like the Truck Yard, Katy Trail Ice House and the Hub and all are great options for people with families. For a business (in the suburbs, talking about Sunday afternoons - not Uptown or a place crawling with young adults), I found this to be ridiculous. I understand not wanting families at a bar on Friday/Saturday nights, but to be openly hostile to families on a Sunday afternoon is absurd. We spent $100s there as a group. The other restaurants at the Shacks have come out and said all are welcome and we will not be spending another dollar at this place. They have shut off a huge market and I hope people can find alternatives to spend their money.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. Has anyone who works here taken Business 101? Your food is not that good, your service was terrible, your location is all you have going for you and now you have done everything possible to NOT capitalize on that. I can’t wait to never spend another dollar here.

This place has beyond all rational explanation disallowed families with children from visiting their business despite the fact that they literally share space with a futsal soccer field that is constantly busy. They do however, allow dogs. Good luck with that.
